Oberer Spintikteich

It lies there quietly, almost too quiet for a summer day. The Upper Spintik Pond, this artificially created body of water south of Lake Wörthersee, makes no noise – and that's precisely why you remember it. No sign that shouts, no hustle and bustle that intrudes. Instead: reflections in the calm, like inked watercolors of a landscape. A place where the word "romantic" doesn't sound kitsch, but rather of moss, patches of light, and a dip in warm water that shines like liquid green.Busloads rarely stray here. Instead: a narrow path shaded by old trees, a bench with a view that's almost too beautiful to just sit on. And if you dare – over there by the tree with the supporting branches and the rope – you can jump into the water like you did in your childhood. Without a lifeguard, but with plenty of happiness in your stomach.It's places like this that remind us that nature doesn't have to be staged to be effective. That peace is not the absence of noise, but the re-hearing of one's own. The Spintik Pond is not a postcard image—and that's precisely why you'd rather not recommend it to others. Instead, you'd rather keep it. As a secret. For later.

A very warm, artificially created swimming pond south of Lake Wörthersee. Some romantic bathing bays invite you to splash around. Since it is a moor lake, there are beautiful reflections here when there is no wind.

There are supporting sticks on the tree and a rope. Here you can climb up and jump into the water.
